What is sunken stomata?
Sunken stomata are like normal stomata except they are literally sunken into the leaf a few micrometres. they are usually in a little chamber- imagine a tiny C shape cut into the leaf, and the stomata being on the inside curve of the the C, and the ends of the C being the outside of the leaf. they help prevent transpiration and loss of water vapour as they are more protected from external conditions that speed up transpiration such as winds than stomata which aren't sunken. sunken stomata are usually protected by hairs in the chambers, and these hairs are called trichomes. they trap the water vapour, whcih also helps prevents water loss.
Presence of sunken stomata in leaves indicates the character of which type of plant?
hydrophytes
How do plants take in and give out air?
with a stomata
Do stomata present in mushroom?
No , stomata are not present in mushroom as they are fungi . Stomata are present in plants for gaseous exchange .
What are not examples of stomata plants?
i have no clue

What tiny openings on plants leaves are called?
Stomata

Does the stomata close during drought?
The stomata will mostly close during drought. The stomata are responsible for the storage of water in plants. The opening and closing of the stomata regulates the amount of water in plants.
What are some differences between xerophyte and phreatophyte?
Xerophytes are known for having stomata that are fewer in number, sunken, waxy and\or open only at night. Hydrophytes often lack cuticle, because there is no need to prevent water loss. stomata are larger in quantity and typically open.
What are the respiratory organs in differences organisms?
earthworm-skin plants-stomata
Why stomata are present only on lower epidermis in nerium leaf?
as nerium is a xerophyte i.e.as it cannot take in sufficient amount of needed water,the sunken stomata are present in the lower epidermis to reduce loss of water by transpiration.there are also certain hair present in the sunken stoma to protect it.
How have plants dealt with the problem of water loss?
Plants have tried to minimize the water loss by some adaptations like presence of sunken stomata only on the lower side of the leaf, cuticle and waxy depositions on the epidermal cells, leafless plants (certain cacti), presence of hairs, spines etc.
Do stomata present in mushroom?
No , stomata are not present in mushroom as they are fungi . Stomata are present in plants for gaseous exchange .
What is the openings on the underside of leaves?
stomata =Specialized passages through the cuticle that enable plants to exchange gases.
Which plants have stomata at their lower portion?
terrestrial plants
